Thank you for your patience Yes, I guess, in this instance, it could be considered as a type of temporary loan for her to pay the bills. However, my thoughts are, that if I change the current classification of Expenses:Staff to Current Assets:Staff, when I pay her salary I'm decreasing an Asset (Bank Account) but would also be needing to decrease another asset account Current Assets:Staff. Am I wrong in assuming that this cannot be done?
By "transferred from savings to Staff Account" I meant when salary payment is made (usually in cash) it is from my Current Assets:Bank Account:Cash in Wallet with the offsetting account being Expense:Staff Account" Cheers On Thu, Jun 28, 2018 at 2:57 PM, Maf.
